Truckers' Protest

John Sherbino | Feb 16, 2022

I would like to thank the Ontario Police forces and the RCMP for their measured responses in the face of the stupidity ‘demonstrated’ by a numerically large but statistically small proportion of the people of Ontario.  I will also observe that Ottawa is the responsibility of the Premier of Ontario and his government. The Federal Government - of any stripe - does not manage the provinces in Canada.

The failure in Ottawa lies with Mr. Ford’s inability to step up and support the Ottawa police in any useful way.

It is also appropriate to consider the negative contribution of interlopers from other provinces and the United States as well as the inevitable contribution of funds from extra national sources who have little sympathy for the freedoms and responsibilities we enjoy and that have been so clearly rejected by the demonstrators.

Social media is the gasoline for those unwilling or unable to do the work of being intelligently informed.  My favourite example was the call for the resignation of The Governor General, The Senate and the elected members of Parliament - all of them the incompetent dupes of the dreaded Justin Trudeau.
